Sunni and Shii Muslims, what are your thoughts on this?

Question

- Al Imam Abou Hanifa Al Numan.. the founder of the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence, and The Imam of the Sunna Imams...

- Abu Hanifa was also one of the Tabi'een, the generation after the Sahaba, because he saw the Sahabi Anas ibn Malik, and transmitted hadiths from him and other Sahaba.

This great Imam was a very close student and Friend to
Ja'far Al-Sadiq ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Husayn, who was the sixth infallible Imam and one of Ahl al-Bayt of the Shi'a Muslims.

Abu Hanifa Al Numan said about the two years he spent as a student to Jafar: "Without the two years, Al Numan wuld have been wasted".

Do you think this is the way Sunna and Shia have to be together? brothers and sisters with no malice or hate?

your thoughts please!

Amoon.. Sunna is "A collection of teachings, sayings, lifestyle and deed" it's not a sect.. you also were not there when the Prophet صلى الله عليه و السلام was alive...!

Ahmed A:

AL Kafi for Al Kelliny is not 100% right, nor Al Bukhari.. that's way the companions and their comnpanions "Tabiey al Tabeeyeen" created the Science of "Modification and investigation of Hadith" علم الجرح و التعديل and began to say about Al Bukhari: "This is a weak Hadith.. this is a strong hadith.. this is a fake hadith.. etc...."

Al Hadith books contains lots of fake hadiths in both sects.. Allah protected the Quran from modification and didn't protect Al bukhari or else... our referrence in that must be:

"Any Hadith that contradicts the Quran or any other Hadith which is MUTAWATER.. must be rejected".

Answer 1

We can have varying beliefs, but must always strive to conform to the Qur'an and Sunnah in all of our beliefs. If there is no Qur'an or Sunnah to back a belief then we should stay away from it. I feel that some follow certain beliefs just because they claim to be part of a sect or Madhab, without much thought. Which is forbidden in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Allah knows best. We must unite and strive together in the cause of Allah :-)

Answer 2

No one denies how great Jafar al Sadiq was.

However, there are many people lying about him. Jafar spent most of his time in Madenah, and only a few years in Iraq. However, we see MOST of his stories and sayings are coming from people living in Iraq!!!! Many people lied and said, Jafar said that!!! There are even some people who said that they lied a lot about Jafar, and all of these lies are in the Shia book.

Do the Shia have a Book, like Bukhari and Muslim, where all the saying are proven right?? No they don't.
They just have multiple books, like Al Kafee, full of good/bad true/false things where a saying is considered good/tre one generation and then considered bad/false the next generation.

Answer 3

A comment. In the Christian arena, one of the signs that Jesus said would identify his true followers is " love among themselves"
(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

Now Jesus is in total agreement with his father, Jehovah God.
And if Jehovah is Allah, from way back, [ through the commonality of Abraham] then this infighting between sects of Islam cannot be supported by their own god.
Muslims credit allah with the creation. Christians credit Almighty god with the same . there has to be a common base.
They must be the same God.

Answer 4

Allah SWT says in the Quran if you steal cut your hands off...
Allah SWT also doesn't meation how to wash or pray
Allah SWT doesn't mention to us how to do the Hajj or any of the pillars of Islam in detail the way Muhammed SAW SUNNAH DID COMPLEMENT THE QURAN

If you dont' follow the Sunnah... your not following Allah SWT and so you should only cut hands of all theifs no matter what crime cause Muhammed told you that, and also it means that you don't know how to wash or pray or anything regarding the Sunnah Al Hadith... you can't just take one part of Islam and divert the rest at your leasure and pleasure.

Answer 5

A persons character cannot be judged by merely identifying what sect they are from.

I for one have come across muslims with different political opinions, but their friendship and good character was admired the most.

Answer 6

sunna is the right thing coz their following on what the prophet did
but>>>>>>>> shia it wasnt even there when the prophet was alive so i think its nothing
the shias take nothing from the prophets teaching so why do they their muslims
btw when i say shias i mean some coz some others fallow mostly prophets teachings

yeah what u said was right but i fallow sunna and the meaning of sunna is to fallow the prophets teacings
